The original meaning of the modern word “Psychotherapy” come from the Greek words meaning Soul and Healing. Therapy then is – at it’s deepest – the “healing of the soul” or “soul care.” This idea forms the basis of David’s work – regardless of what kinds of issues are being addressed or what kinds of tools are being used. Good therapy is also based on a foundation of providing a trusting, safe and clear relationship. David looks forward to helping people who want to improve their life, or their relationships or recover from negative or harmful experiences. He has specialized training in working with individuals and couples as well as trauma recovery and integrating spirituality with therapy. He also provides clinical supervision for therapists seeking state licensure. As Executive Director, he is responsible for leadership and oversight of The Summit, however, he continues to maintain a reduced caseload of therapy and supervision.
When engaged at The Summit, David and his wife spend time with their adult children in Nashville, TN or with family in South Carolina and New Hampshire. David also pursues his interests in music on a regular basis and sings with the Furman University Singers Alumni Choir on a semi-annual basis.
